skyfire Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Same my old laptop has the Ubuntu Linux 20.04. It seems like a good laptop for my casual tasks.
Empire Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Used to me, But not anymore. Just PC gamer. That being said that I can install Ubuntu onto a VA software 😛
Kane99 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 I have a PC/Tablet combo that has Ubuntu on it. I unfortunately can't game on it, due to it being limited in that regard. But it's great for small work here and there.

Patrik Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 I don't think there is any around here, Gaming on Linux is a pretty rare thing (even if it exists)

I wouldn't even say it's a rare thing at this point. It's not as widely supported as Windows, but it's getting their with support from the community and more studios supporting it. Steam works with Linux, and there are ways of making some games work on Linux. It just takes some work to get it working.

skyfire Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Reddit is full of trolls and the downvoters who can't take your opinion. It's like their opinon matters and if we express it we would get all the biased trolls on us.

True but the majority still uses Windows because it's more user friendly and is more widely supported by most software companies. I've tried using it before and even some of the most basic commands are quite confusing. It needs to be user-friendly before it can be widely supported.
skyfire Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I think in near future who knows windows even may make use of the Linux natively inside which they are already trying out. So yeah it wont be just windows vs linux anymore. and many gamers who use linux would use windows too.
